(a) Right Preserved. The right of trial by jury as declared by the Constitution of the United
States or by the Constitution of the State of North Dakota or as given by a statute of the
United States or of the State of North Dakota shall be preserved to the parties inviolate.

(b) Demand. Any party may demand a trial by jury of any issue triable of right by jury
by:

(1) serving upon the other parties a demand therefor in writing at any time after the
commencement of the action and not later than ten days after the service of the last pleading
directed to such issue, and

(2) filing the demand as required by Rule 5(d). Such demand may be endorsed upon a
pleading of the party.

(c) Size of Jury. If trial by jury is demanded, the jury shall consist of six qualified jurors
unless a jury of nine is specifically demanded within the time required by these rules for
demanding trial by jury.

(d) Demand -- Specifications of Issue. In the demand a party may specify the issues the
party
wishes so tried; otherwise the party is deemed to have demanded trial by jury of all the issues
so triable. If a party has demanded trial by jury for only some of the issues, any other party
within ten days after service of the demand or such lesser time as the court may order, may
serve a demand for trial by jury of any other or all of the issues of fact in the action.

(e) Waiver. The failure of a party to serve and file a demand as required by this rule
constitutes a waiver by the party of trial by jury. A waiver of trial by jury is not revoked by
an amendment of a pleading asserting only a claim or defense arising out of the conduct,
transaction, or occurrence set forth or attempted to be set forth in the original pleading. A
demand for trial by jury made as herein provided may not be withdrawn without the consent
of the parties.
